It was just another day on the set of A Place in the Sun, one of Britain's most beloved property TV shows. The crew was ready to film another episode, and the star of the show, Laura Hamilton, was excited to show off some luxurious homes to potential buyers. However, things took an unexpected turn when a blunder occurred on set, almost causing the entire episode to be scrapped.
In an interview, Laura revealed that the incident was so bad, production had to be halted for a whole day. This was a rare occurrence for the long-time host, who has been a part of the show since 2012 and has gained a huge following for her charming personality and expertise in the real estate world. But on that day, in the sunny state of Florida, an embarrassing mishap caused chaos on set.
Years later, Laura finally opened up about what really happened. "There was once an episode where the keys to the property got locked inside and we couldn't film," she shared. The door had slammed shut, and the keys were trapped inside, leaving the crew with no way to enter the house. It was a disaster, and they had no choice but to call off filming and resume the next day. Laura admitted that it wasn't an ideal situation, but it was just one of those things that happen in the unpredictable world of television.
Reflecting on that day, Laura couldn't help but cringe a little. "It was kind of like a scene from a comedy," she chuckled. "We were all running around asking, 'Who's got the keys? Who's got the keys?'" It was a relatable situation that could happen to anyone, and it was a reminder that even TV stars make mistakes.
Thankfully, the episode was able to air in early 2016, and the production team was able to get back on track after the 24-hour delay. The episode featured a married couple, Lynn and Dave Parker, who were searching for a holiday home for their daughter. It was a heartwarming story, and the viewers were none the wiser about the behind-the-scenes chaos.
This incident wasn't the only time Laura had to deal with a key-related mishap. She revealed that it had happened a few times within her own family, causing her to laugh at the memory now. "It's just one of those things," she said. "But it's definitely a lesson to always keep track of the keys!"
In recent news, Laura expressed her disgust about scammers using the name of the late A Place in the Sun presenter, Johnnie Irwin, to con fans out of money. As a former colleague and friend, Laura was deeply saddened by this cruel act. "After I raised £5k and ran a marathon, there were people setting up scam pages saying they were still fundraising," she shared. "It's terrible that there are scammers taking advantage of people's generosity in such a despicable way."
Despite the ups and downs of being a TV star, Laura continues to be a fan-favorite on A Place in the Sun, and her passion for real estate and helping others find their dream homes remains unwavering. So if you're ever in need of some property inspiration, be sure to tune in to Channel 4 and watch Laura and the rest of the team in action. And who knows, maybe you'll even catch a blooper or two!
